Cheesy Taco Dip
Ingredients
- 16 oz can refried beans
- 15 oz can chili with beans
- 2 cups shredded Mexican-style four cheese blend divided
- 1/4 cup sliced jalapenos diced
- 10 oz can Rotel diced tomatoes with green chilies drained but not rinsed
- 1 Tbsp chili powder
- 1/2 cup salsa con queso
Instructions
-
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a small rectangular baking dish (7 1/2" x 5 1/2") with cooking spray.
-
In small bowl, add chili powder to Rotel tomatoes and stir in. Set aside.
-
Spread half of the refried beans into the bottom of the baking dish, then add layers of the following ingredients: half a can of chili, 1/2 cup cheese, 1/4 cup diced jalapenos, half of the tomato mixture, and 1/2 cup salsa con queso. Then add remaining refried beans, chili and tomatoes.
-
Cover with foil. Bake 45 minutes. Uncover; sprinkle remaining 1 1/2 cups cheese over the top. Bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes, until cheese is melted.

Serve with Tostitos for dipping.
